The USA has ABSOLUTELY NO POWER WHATSOEVER over the Strait of Malacca. None.. The Strait is 38 km wide at its narrowest point. It's not a Canal like Suez or Panama.

And no odd would give a flying fuck if the USA said they wouldn't allow anything through there. They have no jurisdiction. And if it came to a war, China could block that Strait easily and the USA wouldn't be allowed through anymore.

Besides, even if the Strait were blocked, going around isn't such a huge deal by the way. Going around Sumatra and Java wouldn't take that much longer.. It's not like blocking the Suez and going around Africa. The day would be 2 or 3 days at most.
